     The compound (I) has a strong angiogenesis inhibitory activity.

This is a continuation of copending application(s) Ser. No. 07/392,028 filed on Aug. 10, 1989 now abandoned.

This invention relates to novel O-substituted fumagillol derivatives or salts thereof, which have angiogenesis inhibitory activity and are effective in the treatment and prevention of various inflammatory diseases (rheumatism, psoriasis, etc.), diabetic retinopathy and cancer, among others.

Angiogenesis is deeply concerned in the course of manifestation or progress of various diseases, for example various inflammatory diseases (rheumatism, psoriasis, etc.), diabetic retinopathy, and cancer. Therefore, to inhibit angiogenesis is considered to contribute to the treatment and prevention of such diseases. In fact, several groups of researchers have so far searched for angiogenesis inhibitory substances. As examples, there may be mentioned the study by Taylor et al. [Taylor, S. et al., Nature, 297, 307 (1982) on the applicability of protamine and the study by Folkman et al. [Folkman, J. et al., Science, 221, 719 (1983)]on the combined use of heparin and cortisone. Furthermore, patent applications have been filed alleging, for example, that ascorbic acid ethers and related compounds (Japanese Kokai Tokkyo Koho No. 58-131978) and the sulfated polysaccharide DS4152 (Japanese Kokai Tokkyo Koho No. 63-119500) show angiogenesis inhibitory activity. However, such substances are not yet fully satisfactory from the activity viewpoint. The advent of compounds superior in activity is waited for.

Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provide novel compounds having angiogenesis inhibitory activity.

The present inventors searched for and evaluated various compounds in an attempt to achieve the above object and, as a result, found that O-substituted derivatives of fumagillol, a hydrolyzate of fumagillin so far known as an antimicrobial and antiprotozoal agent, have potent angiogenesis inhibitory activity. Based on this finding, they have now completed the present invention. Thus, the invention relates to O-substituted fumagillol derivatives (hereinafter sometimes referred to as compounds (I) for short) of the formula ##STR2## wherein R¹ is a 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group which may be substituted and R² is (1) a substituted alkanoyl group, (2) a substituted aroyl group having at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of C₂₋₆ alkyl, amino, halogen, hydroxyl, lower alkoxy, cyano, carbamoyl and carboxyl, (3) an aromatic heterocycle-carbonyl, which may optionally be substituted, (4) a carbamoyl group, which may optionally be substituted, (5) an alkyl group, which may optionally be substituted, (6) a benzenesulfonyl group, which may optionally be substituted, (7) an alkylsulfonyl group, which may optionally be substituted, (8) a sulfamoyl group, which may optionally be substituted, (9) an alkoxycarbonyl group, which may optionally be substituted or (10) a phenoxycarbonyl group, which may optionally be substituted, or salts thereof.

The compounds (I) according to the invention may be used in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts if they have an acidic substituent (e.g. carboxyl etc.) or a basic substituent (e.g. amino, lower alkylamino, di-lower alkylamino, etc.).

Among these salts, the salts with bases (i.e. salts with inorganic bases, salts with organic bases and salts with basic amino acids) are those salts in which the carboxyl group contained in a substituent in compounds (I) is involved in the salt formation while, in the salts with acids (i.e. salts with inorganic acids, salts with organic acids and salts with acidic amino acids), an amino, lower alkylamino or di-lower alkylamino group, among others, contained in a substituent in compounds (I) is involved in the salt formation.

The O-substituted fumagillol derivatives in which R¹ in formula (I) is a 2-methyl-1-propenyl group can be produced by subjecting fumagillol [Tarbell, D. S. et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 83, 3096 (1961)], which is a hydrolyzate of fumagillin produced by microorganisms, to acylation, carbamoylation, alkylation or sulfonylation using an acylating, carbamoylating, alkylating or sulfonylating agent in the manner mentioned below, or by isolating intermediates in such a reaction.

The 0-substituted dihydrofumagillol derivatives in which, in formula (I), R¹ is an isobutyl group can be produced by subjecting 4',5'-dihydrofumagillol (II), which is obtainable by catalytically reducing fumagillol under ordinary conditions (e.g. using 5% palladium-carbon in a methanol solution; cf. Reference Example 1), to the same reaction as mentioned above. ##STR3##

In cases where R² is a group inert to catalytic reduction, it is also possible to convert the O-substituted fumagillol derivatives in which R¹ is a 2-methyl1-propenyl group to the O-substituted dihydrofumagillol derivatives in which R¹ is an isobutyl group by catalytic reduction.

Those O-substituted fumagillol derivatives of formula (I) in which Rl is a hydroxyl-substituted 2-methyl1-propenyl or isobutyl group can be produced by subjecting fumagillol whose 6-position hydroxyl may be protected to oxidation for introduction of a hydroxyl group thereinto, and then subjecting the oxidation product, after deprotection of the 6-position hydroxyl as necessary, to acylation, carbamoylation, alkylation or sulfonylation, or by isolating the respective reaction intermediates. In the step of the above-mentioned acylation, carbamoylation, alkylation or sulfonylation, the reaction can proceed advantageously when the hydroxyl group introduced into R¹ is protected as necessary.

In cases where R² is a group inert to oxidation, the O-substituted fumagillol derivatives just mentioned above can be produced also by sujecting those O-sustituted fumagillol derivatives of formula (I) in which Rl is a 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group directly to oxidation.

Those O-substituted fumagillol derivatives of formula (I) in which R¹ is an animo-, lower alkylamino or di-lower alkylamino-substituted or 5 or 6-membered nitrogencontaining heterocycle-substituted 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group can be produced by subjecting the abovementioned fumagillol derivatives having a hydroxyl group introduced in the 4-position side chain moiety, 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group, by the above-mentioned oxidation, the 6-position hydroxyl of which may be protected, to amination and then subjecting the amination product, after deprotection of the 6-position hydroxyl, to acylation, carbamoylation, alkylation or sulfonylation, or by isolating the respective reaction intermediates. In the step of the above-mentioned acylation, carbamoylation, alkylation or sulfonylation, the reaction can proceed with advantage when the amino, lower alkylamino or nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group introduced into R¹ is protected as necessary.

In cases where R² is a group inert or resistant to amination, the O-substituted fumgillol derivatives just mentioned above can be produced also by subjecting an O-substituted fumagillol derivative of formula (I) in which R¹ is a hydroxyl-substituted 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group to amination.

Those O-substituted fumagillol derivatives of formula (I) in which R¹ is a hydroxyl-, amino-, lower alkylamino-, di-lower alkylamino- or 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycle-substituted isobutyl group can be produced by subjecting a fumagillol derivative having a hydroxyl, amino, lower alkylamino, di-lower alkylamino or 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group introduced in the 4-position side chain moiety 2-methyl-1-propenyl group, the 6-position hydroxyl of which may be protected, to catalytic reduction and then subjecting the reduction product, after deprotection of the 6-position hydroxyl as necessary, to acylation, carbamoylation, alkylation or sulfonylation, or by isolating the respective reaction intermediates. In the step of acylation, carbamoylation, alkylation or sulfonylation, the reaction can proceed with advantage when the hydroxyl, amino, lower alkylamino or nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group in R¹ is protected as necessary.

In cases where R² is a group inert to catalyti reduction, the O-substituted fumagillol derivatives just mentioned above can be produced also by sujecting those O-sustituted fumagillol derivatives of formula (I) in which R¹ is a 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-propenyl group directly to catalytic reduction.

The protection and deprotection of the 6-position hydroxyl and of the hydroxyl, amino, lower alkylamino and nitrogen-containing heterocycle in R¹ can be carried out by an appropriate per se known method [cf. Greene, T. W., "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", John Wiley & Sons, New York (1981)].

In cases where such a substituent as amino, hydroxyl or carboxyl is present in the acylating, carbamoylating, alkylating or sulfonylating agnet, such substituent should preferably be protected by an appropriate protective group selected on the basis of the stability of the product. As examples of preferred protective groups, there may be mentioned 4-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl and 2-trimethylsilylethoxycarbonyl for amino protection, 4-nitrobenzyl and t-butyldimethylsilyl for hydroxyl protection, and 4-nitrobenzyl for carboxyl protection. Deprotection can be effected by a conventional method, for example by catalytic reduction or reaction with the fluoride ion. In the case of carbamoylation or alkylation, it is also possible to use a lower alkyl group, such as methyl or ethyl, as the carboxyl-protecting group so that postreaction deprotection can be effected by hydrolysis under mild alkaline conditions.

1) Acylation

Said acylation is carried out by bringing fumagillol or dihydrofumagillol (hereinafter referred to as "starting alcohol") into contact with an activated, reactive derivative of a carboxylic acid, for example an acid anhydride or an acid halide (e.g. acid chloride, acid bromide, etc.).

Thus, the reaction proceeds according to the equation:

    Reactive derivative of R.sup.3 OH+Starting alcohol

Compound (I) [R² =R³ ]

In the above equation, R³ is (1) a substituted alkanoyl group, (2) a substituted aroyl group having at least one substituent selected from the group consisting of C₂₋₆ alkyl, amino, halogen, hydroxyl, lower alkoxy, cyano, carbamoyl and carboxyl, or (3) an aromatic heterocyclecarbonyl group, which may optionally be substituted, as defined with respect to R².

Said reactive derivative of carboxylic acid is used generally in an amount of about 1 to 10 moles, preferably 1 to 5 moles, per mole of the starting alcohol.

The reaction is carried out generally in the presence of a base. Usable as said base are tertiary amines, such as diisopropylethylamine, triethylamine, pyridine and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, such as sodium hydrogen carbonate and potassium hydrogen carbonate, alkali metal carbonates, such as potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate, alkali metal hydrides, such as sodium hydride and potassium hydride, and organometals, such as butyllithium and lithium diisopropylamide. The base is used generally in an amount of about 1 to 10 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

This reaction is carried out generally in an organic solvent which will not interfere with the reaction. Usable as such inert organic solvent are, for example, amides, such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, chloroform and 1,2-dichloroethane, ethers, such as diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, esters, such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isobutyl acetate and methyl propionate, nitriles, such as acetonitrile and propionitrile, nitro compounds, such as nitromethane and nitroethane, ketones, such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene and toluene. These may be used either alone or in the form of a mixture of two or more of them mixed together in an appropriate ratio. When a tertiary amine is used as the base, said amine as such may serve also as a solvent.

The optimal reaction temperature may vary depending on the carboxylic acid derivative, base and solvent and amounts thereof, among others but can be found within the range of -80° C. to 100° C., preferably 0° C. to room temperature (the term "room temperature" means a temperature of about 20° to 35° C.; unless otherwise specified, the same shall apply hereinafter). The reaction time required is about 30 minutes to 5 days.

2) Alkylation

Said alkylation is effected by reacting the starting alcohol with an alkylating agent, for example an alkyl halide or a dialkyl sulfate (e.g. dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, etc.), representable by the formula R⁴ Y [wherein R⁴ is (5) an alkyl group, which may optionally be substituted, as defined with respect to R², and Y is a leaving group (e.g. halogen (chlorine, bromine, iodine, etc.))]. Said alkylating agent is used generally in an amount of about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

This reaction is carried out generally in the presence of a base. Usable as said base are, for example, those alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrides and organometals mentioned above. The base is used generally in an amount of about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

This reaction is carried out generally in an organic solvent which will not interfere with the reaction. Usable as such inert organic solvent are those amides, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons mentioned above. These may be used either singly or in the form of a mixture of two or more of them mixed together in an appropriate ratio.

The optimal reaction temperature may depend on the alkylating agent, base and solvent and amounts thereof but is generally within the range of -80° C. to 100° C., preferably from 0° C. to room temperature. The reaction time amounts to about 20 minutes to 5 days.

3) Carbamoylation

The carbamoylation reaction for the introduction of a monosubstituted carbamoyl group is carried out generally by bringing the starting alcohol into contact with an isocyanate, for example according to the following equation:

    R.sup.5 NCO+Starting alcohol→Compound (I) [R.sup.2 =R.sup.5 NHCO]

In the above equation, R⁵ is lower alkyl, lower alkano.ly, chloroacetyl or the like substituent on the optionally substituted carbamoyl represented by R². Said isocyanate is used generally in an amount of about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

This reaction is carried out generally in the presence of a base. Usable as said base are, for example, those tertiary amines, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrides and organometals mentioned above. The level of addition of said base is generally about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

This reaction is carried out generally in an organic solvent which will not interfere with the reaction. Usable as such inert organic solvent are those amides, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons mentioned above. These may be used either singly or in the form of a mixture or two or more of them mixed together in an appropriate ratio. When a tertiary amine is used as the base, said tertiary amine as such may also serve as a solvent.

The optimal reaction temperature may depend on the isocyanate, base and solvent and amounts thereof but is generally within the range of -80° C. to 100° C., preferably from 0° C. to room temperature. The reaction time required amounts to about 1 hour to 5 days.

Among the monosubstituted carbamoyl group-containing compounds thus obtained, those compounds having a chloroacetylcarbamoyl or trichloroacetylcarbamoyl group, for instance, may be converted to the corresponding compounds having an unsubstituted carbamoyl group by eliminating the chloroacetyl or trichloroacetyl group by a conventional method (e.g. under basic conditions at room temperature or with heating).

Said carbamoylation may also be effected by reacting the starting alcohol with a carbamoyl halide.

Said carbamoyl halide is used generally in an amount of about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

This reaction is carried out generally in the presence of a base. Usable as the base are those tertiary amines, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrides and organoalkali metals mentioned above. The level of addition of said base is generally about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

This reaction is carried out generally in an organic solvent which will not interfere with the reaction. Usable as such inert organic solvent are those amides, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons mentioned above. These may be used either singly or in the form of a mixture, in an appropriate mixing ratio, of two or more of them. When a tertiary amine is used as the base, said tertiary amine as such may also serve as a solvent.

The optimal reaction temperature may vary depending on the carbamoyl halide, base and solvent and amounts thereof. Generally, however, the reaction is carried out at a temperature from about 0° C. to a temperature approximately equal to the refluxing temperature of the reaction medium, preferably from about 25° C. to the refluxing temperature.

Further, said carbamoylation can be effected by reacting the starting alcohol with a chloroformate ester (e.g. phenyl chloroformate, ethyl chloroformate, isobutyl chloroformate, 1-chloroethyl chloroformate, etc.) or 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole and then reacting the resulting active ester with a primary or secondary amine. Said chloroformate ester, 1,1-carbonyldiimidazole or amine is used generally in an amount of about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

In the process mentioned just above, the reaction of the starting alcohol with a chloroformate ester is carried out generally in the presence of a base. Usable as said base are those tertiary amines, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrides and organoalkali metals mentioned above. The level of addition of the base is generally about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

This reaction is carried out generally in an organic solvent which will not interfere with the reaction. Usable as such inert organic solvent are the amides, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons mentioned above. These may be used either singly or in the form of a mixture, in an appropriate mixing ratio, of two or more of them. The optimal reaction temperature may vary depending on species of chloroformate ester, base, amine and solvent and amounts thereof, among others. Generally, however, the reaction is carried out at a temperature from -20° C. to the refluxing temperature of the reaction medium, preferably at a temperature of 0° C. to 50° C. The active esters obtainable as intermediates are also included within the scope of the objective compounds (I) of the invention.

Among the compounds having a mono-substituted carbamoyl group, those having a substituted lower alkanoylcarbamoyl group can be produced also by reacting a corresponding compound having a chloroacetylcarbamoyl group with a nucleophilic reagent.

The nucleophilic reagent to be used is a lower carboxylic acid, lower thiocarboxylic acid, thiol, amine or the like, or a metal salt thereof.

This reaction is generally carried out in an organic solvent which will not interfere with the reaction. The above-mentioned saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, amides, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons, for instance, can be used as such organic solvent inert to the reaction. These may be used either singly or in the form of a mixture of two or more in an appropriate mixing ratio.

Generally, this reaction is carried out in the presence of a base. Usable as said base are, for example, the above-mentioned tertiary amines, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, alkali metal carbonates, alkali metal hydrides and organoalkali metal compounds. The base is added to the reaction system generally in an amount of about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting material.

The optimal reaction temperature may vary depending on the nucleophilic reagent, base and solvent, the quantities thereof and other factors. Generally, however, the reaction is carried out at -80° C. to 100° C., preferably at 0° C. to room temperature. The reaction period is about 20 minutes to 5 days.

4) Sulfonylation

The sulfonylation is effected by reacting the starting alcohol with an activated sulfonic acid derivative such as a sulfonic anhydride or a sulfonic halide (e.g. sulfonyl chloride, sulfonyl bromide, etc.), or an activated sulfamic acid derivative such as a sulfamoyl halide (e.g. sulfamoyl chloride, sulfamoyl bromide, etc.).

Thus, the above process may be illustrated by the following equation:

This reaction is carried out generally in the presence of a base. Usable as said base are those tertiary amines, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, alkali metal carbonates, alkali methal hydrides and organometals mentioned above. The level of addition thereof is generally about 1 to 10 moles per mole of the starting alcohol.

This reaction is carried out generally in an organic solvent which will not interfere with the reaction. Usable as such inert organic solvent are those amides, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons mentioned above. These may be used either singly or in the form of a mixture of two or more of them mixed together in an appropriate mixing ratio. When a tertiary amine is used as the base, said tertiary amine as such may serve also as a solvent.

The optimal reaction temperature may vary depending on the sulfonic or sulfamic acid derivative, base and solvent and amounts thereof. Generally, however, the reaction is carried out at -80° C. to 100° C., preferably at 0° C. to room temperature. the reaction time amounts to about 10 minutes to 5 days.

5) Oxidation

Said oxidation is effected by reacting an oxidizing agent with fumagillol, whose 6-position hydroxyl may be protected, or an O-substituted fumagillol derivative of formula (I) in which R¹ is a substituted or unsubstituted 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group and the 6-position hydroxyl of which may be protected.

Usable oxidizing agents are selenium dioxide, osmium tetroxide, aqueous hydrogen peroxide, organic peroxides (e.g. t-butyl hydroperoxide etc.), organic peracids (e.g. performic acid, peracetic acid, trifluoroperacetic acid, perbenzoic acid, m-chloroperbenzoic acid, etc.) and so forth. It is also possible to use two or more of these in combination in an appropriate mixing ratio. Generally, the oxidizing agent is used in an amount of about 1 to 5 moles per mole of the starting material.

This reaction is generally carried out in a solvent which will not interfere with the invention. Useful examples of such solvent inert to the reaction are water, saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as hexane, heptane, etc., alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, etc., and the above-mentioned halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers and aromatic hydrocarbons. These may be used either singly or in the form of a mixture of two or more of them in an appropriate mixing ratio.

The optimal reaction temperature may vary depending on the oxidizing agent and solvent, the quantities thereof and other factors. Generally, however, the reaction is carried out at -80° C. to 100° C., preferably at 0° C. to room temperature. The reaction period is about 20 minutes to 5 days.

6) Amination

The amination is conducted for conversion of the hydroxyl group of the fumagillol derivatives having a hydroxyl group introduced in the 4-position side chain, 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group, as a result of the above oxidation reaction, the 6-position hydroxyl of which may be protected, or of those 0-substituted fumagillol derivatives of general formula (I) in which R¹ is hydroxyl-substituted 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group by the method of converting hydroxyl directly to amino by taking advantage of the Mitunobu reaction (cf. Mitunobu, O., Synthesis, 1981, 1) which uses an imide, such as phthalimide or succinimide, the method which comprises converting said hydroxyl to methanesulfonyloxy or toluenesulfonyloxy and then convering the latter to an amino, lower alkylamino, di-(lower alkyl)amino or nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group by reaction with ammonia or the corresponding amine, or some other appropriate method.

For the reaction of the sulfonyloxy derivative with ammonia or an amine, aqueous ammonia, gaseous ammonia or liquid ammonia may be used as ammonia and the amine to be used is a primary amine (e.g. methylamine, ethylamine, isopropylamine, etc.), a secondary amine (e.g. dimethylamine, diethylamine, etc.), or a 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound (e.g. pyrrolidine, piperidine, morpholine, piperazine, N-methylpiperazine, N-ethylpiperazine, etc.).

Generally, this reaction is carried out using ammonia or said amine in an amount of about 1 to 20 moles, preferably 2 to 10 moles per mole of the starting material in a solvent which will not adversely affect the reaction. The ammonia or amine itself may be used as the solvent. Useful as the solvent which will not adversely affect the reaction are, for example, water and such saturated alipahtic hydrocarbons, alcohols, amides, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, nitriles, nitro compounds, ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons as mentioned above. These may be used either singly or in the form of a mixture of two or more in an appropriate mixing ratio.

This reaction may also be carried out in the presence of a base, such as an alkali metal hydrogen carbonate or an alkali metal carbonate. Those alkali metal hydrogen carbonates and alkali metal carbonates mentioned above referring to the alkylation can be used also for this reaction.

The optimal reaction temperature may vary depending on the reactant (ammonia or amine), base and solvent, the quantities thereof and other factors. Generally, however, reaction is carried out at -80° C. to 100° C., preferably at 0° C. to room temperature. The reaction period is about 20 minutes to 5 days.

It is also possible to N-alkylate the amino or lower alkylamino introduced by the above-mentioned method according to a cer se known method [cf.Sutherland, I. O. (ed.), "Comprehensive Organic Chemistry", vol. 2, pages 4-11Pergamon Press (1979)] to give those fumagillol derivatives which have a lower alkylamino or di-(lower alkyl)amino group introduced in the 4-position side chain, 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group, and whose 6-position hydroxyl may be protected or those O-substituted fumagillol derivatives of general formula (I) in which R¹ is a lower alkylamino- or di-(lower alkyl)amino-substituted 2-methyl-1-propenyl or isobutyl group.

The O-substituted fumagillol derivatives (I) thus produced can be isolated by per se known means of separation and purification (e.g. chromatography, crystallization) or by other appropriate means.

The compounds (I) have asymmetric centers within their molecules and accordingly are optically active. Their absolute configuration comes from the starting material fumagillol. Therefore, it is to be noted that the compounds (I) have the same absolute configuration that fumagillol has.

The compounds according to the invention exhibit angiogenesis inhibitory activity and are useful as therapeutic and prophylactic agents for various inflammatory diseases (rheumatism, psoriasis), diabetic retinopathy, or cancer. They can be safely administered either orally or nonorally as such or in the form of pharmaceutical preparations [e.g. tablets, capsules (inclusive of soft capsules and microcapsules), solutions, injections, suppositories] prepared by admixing with oer se known pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients or the like. The dose may vary depending on the target of administration, route of administration, symptoms and other factors. Generally, however, in adults, they are used, for example, at a dose of about 0.1 mg/kg to 40 mg/kg body weight, preferably about 0.5 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg body weight.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 1

The product compounds (I) obtained in the examples given below were evaluated for angiogenesis inhibitory activity by the rat cornea micropocket method. The data obtained are summarized in the table given below.

Method of measurement

Essentially the method of Gimbrone et al. [J. National Cancer Institute, 52, 413-419 (1974)] was followed. Thus, adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (11 to 16 weeks of age) were anesthetized with nembutal and locally anesthetized by instillation of xylocaine eyedrops onto the eyeball. The cornea was incised to a length of about 2 mm at about 2 mm inside from the corneal circumference by means of an injection needle, and a sustained release pellet containing basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF; bovine brain-derived, purified product; R & D) and a sustained release pellet containing the test sample were inserted side by side into the incision so that the bFGF pellet was located on the central side in the cornea. In the control group, the bFGF pellet and a sample-free pellet were inserted into the cornea. After 7 days and after 10 days, the cornea was observed under a stereoscopic microscope. When the sample administration resulted in retardation or reduction of bFGF-induced angiogenesis, the sample was judged to have inhibitory activity.

The sustained release pellets were prepared in the following manner. An ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (Takeda Chemical Industries) was dissolved in dichloromethane to a concentration of 8%. A 3-μl portion of the solution was air-dried on a glass dish, an aqueous solution of bFGF (250 ng) was then placed thereon and airdried dried and, finally 3μl of the above ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer solution was placed further thereon and air-dried to give a laminate consisting of two copolymer layers and a bFGF layer sandwiched therebetween. This sandwich sheet was made round into a bFGF pellet. The test sample pellets were prepared by dissolving each sample in ethanol in a concentration of 20 μg/2l, mixing the solution (2μl ) with 6μl of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer solution, air-drying the mixed solution on a glass dish and making the thus-obtained sheet round.
